lias Inaugurated a movement for im
provement o all streets In that portion of
the city. W. C. Kerron, C. P. Patton, N.
3. Hart, It. S. Kennedy and Joseph Ellis
were appointed a committee on water
mains. This committee will wait on

are to be Improved at once. Also Xels
Reed, M. K. Thompson and Dr. L. M.
Davis were appointed to wait on the gas
company and ask that gas mains be laid
on these streets before they are im
proved. The club adopted a resolution
demanding that all mains, sewers and
una and other pipes be put down at once
so that the paved streets will not have to
be torn up as soon as completed. The
committee on' water mains also was In
structed to insist that more lire hydrants
be provided so that the fire companies
may better protect the property of the
district.
Quarter Block Brings $45,000. An
other evidence that transactions of' inside
realty are becoming much more frequent
was the sale yesterday of the quarter
Mock, at the southeast corner of Fourth
and Davis street?, to Max Loewenson
and John Dellar for $!5,000. The property
was owned by H. Stephenson who pur
chased it and the quarter block adjoining
on tho east, a year ago. The present
sale was made by Goldsmith & Co. The
quarter block is occupied by the west
half of the Cosmopolitan Hotel, a three
story frame building. It is now under
lease and is returning a good revenue
upon the purchase price. It Is announced
by Mr. Goldsmith that the present buyers
have several other large deals under way
which it Is expected will eoon be closed.
Rt public an Club Organized. The

ganized with the following officers: Presi

terest of the Republican party In the

AsSs tor Opening of Baiir Road. A
petition asking for the Barr road, north
of Mount Tabor, be extended to the
Reims road has been filed with the
County Court. It was desired to have
this road extended to Fairview, but the
owners of the land beyond the Reims
road ask heavy damages, so for the
present the movement is confined to an
effort to open the road to the Reims. It
is thought that later owners of Fhe land
beyond that point will be asking for a
further extension of the road".

H. W. Cornell at T. M. C. A. Simple
co-operation and civic patriotism are the
essentials to the rebuilding of a city, de
clared Henry Watson Cornell, of Chicago,
In his lecture on "Science of City
Making," at the Y. M. C. A. last night.
Another element vital to .the successful
growth and development of any city, he
said. Is adequate transportation facilities.
Mr. Cornell's idea of an effective com
mercial organization Is one that Is " rep
resentative of all Industrial and com
mercial Interests in which there shall be
frequent changes in the personality of
the directing officers and the infusion of
new ideas that will keep the organization
a live and up-to-date force. Mr. Cornell
referred to the future of this city whose
destiny and development could not be
measured, he said. With well-directed
and vigorous work by the commercial
bodies of this city, It was predicated that
Portland would become the foremost city
on the Pacific Coast. It Was shown that
no- other Pacific Coast city "has the
possibilities of Portland which occupies
an extraordinary position for unlimited
development. v
Pastors Debate Knotty Problem.
At the meeting yesterday of the Baptist
Ministerial Association the discussion of
the paper read by Rev. S. C. Lapham at
the previous meeting was continued. The
question at issue concerned the, concep
tion of the fatherhood of God and was
warmly debated, but no decision was
reached. Some held the view that the
atonement of Christ forgave the Adamlc
sin at the birth of the child and that the
child was in a naturally saved condition
untill It reached t'he age of knowledge,
when it could choose its own way and
distinguish between right and wrong, and
could make a deliberate choice and so
be held responsible. The opponents of
this view maintained that every child
chooses naturally the wrong because of
the natural depravity of the race descend
ent from Adam; that to attain salvation
and to enjoy the benefits of Christ's
atonement one must be regenerated and
that one is not saved untill such choice
is made. Countless quotations of Scrip
ture were given by each side in sustaining
Its position.
Forger Wanted Elsewhere. George
M. Blackman, whose rather spectacular
career as a bogus-check operator was
brought to an end on Saturday night,
when he was arrested by the Portland
police, after having flooded this city,
Spokane, Tacoma and Seattle with ficti
cious checks, will have to face charges
in each of these cities after the Portland
authorities are through with him. The
police authorities of each of these places
yesterday telegraphed to this city that
the man was wanted badly In each place
and that an effort would be made to get
him as soon as the case against him in
this city had been closed. The Chief of
Police, of Spokane, is especially anxious
to get the man in his city as he wired
that he would start a man at once for
Portland with the necessary papers before
he knew what the outcome of the case
against Blackman might amount to here.
Committeemen File Petition. Thirty

auspices of the Sunnyside Epworth
League, a federation of all the young
people's societies of the Portland
churches was organized at the Sunnyside

pose of "distributing flowers to the sick

able length and read the address of B. I:
Dasent, secretary of the association.
Mr. Dasent said that the management
of the Rose Festival would render the
young people all the aid it could.
Capture) Suspected Robbers. What Is
believed by the police to be an attempt
to hold-up the Chinese store, at 65 Sec
ond street, was made last night a little
before 9 o'clock and resulted in the arrest
of John Coleman and William Jones after
they had given Detectives Price and Cole
man a spirited foot race and Detective
Coleman had fired his revolver at the
fleeing men. The detectives were passing
the store and seeing the two men inside
evidently threatening the Chinese, rushed
in. The two white men made a mad
break for the street and an exciting chase
followed.
Tirade Leads to . Arrest. John
Brooks, an employe of the Street Clean
ing Department, who lives at Seventeenth
and Market streets, was arrested last
night charged with using abusive and
profane language. Brooks' arrest was
caused by Mrs. J. W. Murray, who lives
in the same neighborhood and charges
him with using the most abusive langu
age toward her.
Repairing Madison Bridge. Madison
street bridge is being strengthened by the
driving of new piles. The County Com
missioners have employed Robert Wake

mated that If this had not been done at

short time, have become actually unsafe.

WM. J. NETHERTON.
WESLEY B, NETHERTON,
Paderewski in Recital,
at the Heilig '
By J. M. Quentln.
THAT mysterious quality of light
known as the dim religious faintly
flooded the stage, giving the surround
ings a somber hue. The grand piano
was black and the scenery was delicate
ly shaded blue. "Out In front" sat an
audience who probably had' paid nearly
$5000 for the privilege of being present.
All formed a suitably artistic picture for
the hero. And In he came, the piano
wizard, Paderewski.
It, was last night at the Heilig Theater,
and the audience, at fancy priced, not
only occupied every seat in the building,
but was willing to pay for the privilege
of occupying standing room. The con
cert, under the direction of the Heilig
Theater management,' was the biggest
piano event that the house has known.
Society, musical and student circles were
all adequately represented, and the ap
plause was like young salvoes of park
artillery. y
As I looked over that brilliant audience
the thought came to me: "What a pity a
musically educative event like this could
not take place In a music hall capable
of seating say 5000 or 6000 people, with
prices so reasonable that the poorest
music students could attend and benefit
thereby." That Is to say: Paderewski
plays for such-and-such a fee. If the
prices were popular, more seating ca
pacity wouW be required than Is at pres
ent at Portland's disposal to seat an
audience representing Paderewskl's fee.
And very reasonably, he won't play for
nothing. Not so long ago Paderewski
was asked to give an extra concert in
an Eastern town and he named his sum,
which was pretty high.
"But," said the agitated lmpressario,
"you ask more money than Is paid the
President of the United States for his
services."
"Then ask the President to play," was
Paderewskl's answer.
At last night's concert Paderewski de
monstrated that he Is still in the bright
sun of his immense popularity. He is
still the careful, hard-working artist to
whom no toil Is wearisome if in the
name of art. Some great pianists have
notably grown careless In the high noon
of their prosperity and ducats. But not
so Paderewski. He looks older and has
the same little mannerisms that his ad
mirers know so well. One is to sit down
suddenly at the plano.rash down chord
upon chord, looking all the while at. the
audience and then swiftly begin as per
programme. Another is to raise the left
hand near the head, at the completion of
a certain phrase. It all comes so natur
ally to one's memory.
Paderewskl's piano-playing? It has
been analyzed by the world, which pro
nounces It all that is good. His Im
mense physical strength, tempered of
course by his art, was fittingly apparent
In his own "Variations and Fugue, op.
23," heard here for the first time last
night. It is a terrific study n dynamics
and was played at sensational speed,
while the pedal work was equally aston
ishing. Schubert-Liszt's "Erl King"
won the people as of yore and for an
encore Paderewski grandly Interpreted
"The Spinning Song," from "The Flying
Dutchman" (Wagner-IJszt). Chopin's
"Etudes." Nos. 10 and 5, op. 10, was so
beautifully rendered that It had to be
repeated. Paderewskl's last triumph was
won In Liszt's "Rhapsodie Hongroise,"
No. 13, and the encore was the famous
second "Rhapsody," by the same com
poser. Cheers and shouts of "bravo"
greeted this number.
It was an occasion of contagious en
thusiasm. Paderewski next plays at Palo
Alto, Cal., and plans his immediate tour
through California and Texas.
ft
Camille" at the Lyric
Theater
THE Lyric management maintains that
Verna' Felton ls the youngest
woman who has ever attempted the diffi
cult role of Camille, the greatest of all
stage courtesans, and when one stops ta
think about It, the claim seems Justified.
"Camille" is the last appeal of emo
tional actresses. The greatest of them
have made It a particular study and to
this day the great names among the
feminine contingent of those vho serve
the god Thespis essay this role when
they would demonstrate their pre
eminence. Miss Felton is brave to attempt the
part, but not foolhardy, as tho result of
her first performance at the Lyric last
night demonstrated. The Lyric's leading
woman gives a very creditable account
of herself as the heroine o the grVateB I
wm .),
f K jut jlv lr t v. 1 1 niiiii.il
She has conceived the part well. She
does not imitate and the spectator at
once forms the opinion that the young
actress is playing the part in accordance
with her own ideas. There are a few
false notes In her work, "hiit tint mnnv
and In the main she sustains the best T
traditions. She is surprisingly good in
the more intense situations and gets all
the significance out of the lines that the
ordinary theatergoer could desire.
The Allen company affords her very
good support. Rupert Drum played Ar
mand with the finish of an actor who
has spent long study on the lines and
the Interpreting of the emotions which
actuated the unhappy lover. It was the
best work Mr. Drum has done since he
became a member of the organization.
Forrest Seabury gave excellent satisfac
tion as Gaston, while Charles Ayres as
De Arville, Irving Kennedy as Gustav,
Mrs. Allen as Madame Prudence, Marie
Thompson as Nichette and Ella Houghton
as Nanlne reflected much credit on the
management.
One of the striking features of the pro
duction was the beautiful costumes worn
by Miss Felton and the other ladles of
the company. The use of moving pic
tures between the acts proved a pleasing
Innovation and will doubtless become one
of the special attractions of the Lyric
in the future. The films shown are ex
tremely Interesting and well - operated.
"Camille" is an unusually' good attrac
tion for a popular price theater. It will
be the bill all week, with matinees to
day, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.
At the Vaudeville Theaters
Grand.
THERE are several acts on the bllll at
the Grand this week which crowd
each other closely for first honors, and
there is some doubt in the minds of the
audience as to Just what Is really the
feature act. It will probably be gener
ally agreed, however, on due reflection,
that the Gilroy, Haynes and Montgomery
trio, in their nautical burlesque "The
Good Ship Nancy Lee," justify their right
to figure as top-liners. Their skit is a
cleverly accomplished little affair with
much spice of music and comedy to sea
son, it. The characterization of types fa
miliar to seafaring stories and plays are
splendidly done, while the songs are most
of them new and taking.
Ramza and Arno, European clowns, do
an eccentric act which Is Interesting,
amusing and distinctly odd. Donnelly
and Rotali, a comic opera comedian and
a comic opera prima donna, appear In a
number of character impersonations and
lightning changes, while their little touch
of grand opera Is unique and altogether
quite satisfying to music-lovers. James
R. Walte and eonipany are seen in a
sketch called "At Lighthouse Point," in
which they appear to good advantage.
Corby and Garron, in "The Jockey and
the Tout," offer an agreeable little race
track feature that received a great deal
of applause. It Is a commendable bit of
entertainment. The Plottes have an act
which they call "The Italian and His
Sweetheart," which was well received,
while Brown and Schomer made a dis
tinct hit with their "unusual turn. The
moving pictures are among the best seen
at the Grand in recent weeks, the subject
of the film being "The Hoosier Fighter."
Pantages. -
O1
PENING with an operatic trio sur
rounded by splendid stage setting de
picting a woodland' scene, the new bill,
'at the Pantages Theater this week Is
replete with good things for lovers of
vaudeville. The opening number is
billed "The Three Gardners," and helr
songs and dances are given In the most
pleasing manner. ,
Further along in the bill the popular
Fourth-street house presents two top-line
attractions. The first Is Herbert, the frog
man. The stage settings of this act,
showing a scene in the Florida Ever
glades, Is one of the most realistic ever
displayed at that show-house. Herbert
himself is a contortionist of almost un
believable suppleness. His gyrations
are really startling.
Charles E. Colby Is a ventriloquist of
considerable renown and in his specialty
is assisted by Miss Lilly E. May, who
essays the -part of a doll in the most
realistic manner. This act is well worth
while and should be seen by all, especially
by the children. Jean Wilson, the well
known balladist, has returned to Pantages
for an extended engagement and on his
Initial appearance was given a generous
round of applause.
Fuert and Window present some pleas
ing songs and Hickey and Nelson, in a
burlesque acrobatic dance, ' are quite
clever and amusing. The blograph pre
sents scenes from Henry W. Longfellow's
famous story of "Evangeline."

SIGLER FILES HIS PETITION
Assessor Will Seek Republican Nom
ination at Coming Primaries.
B. D. Sigler, Assessor of Multnomah
County, yesterday filed his declaration
to enter the coining primary election
for nomination on the Republican tick
et as a candidate for the office which
he now holds. Mr. Sigler Is completing
his first term as Assessor, and has
asked that the following words be
printed on the ballot opposite his
name: "Equitable assessment of all
property, regardless of ownership.
Present policy continued."
"If elected, I will endeavor to assess
all property equitably, regardless of
ownership," said Mr. Sigler last night.
"That-is my platform, and It Is the
same principle on which I have endeav
ored to conduct the office during by In
cumbency. I simply leave it to the
citizens of Multnomah County to Judge
by my record whether or not I have
followed this policy."
Speaking of the conduct of the As
sessor's office, Mr. Sigler called atten
tion to the fact that during his term
public utility franchises were assessed!
for the first time. He also showed that
during the present year nine public
utility corporations in this county will
pay 310,248, or $1000 for each business
day, more in taxes than they did in
1904, the year before Mr. Sigler took
the office. ..While the rate of taxation
was 40 mills in 1904, the present rate
is only 14.2 mills.
The total personal assessment of the
nine corporations mentioned by Mr.
Sigler was J2.548.095 in 1904 and $29.
033,055 for 1907, an increase of J26.
484,960. The itemized increase In the
personal assessment of these corpora
tions is as follows:

PROMPT TO PAY ITS LOSSES
A. O. U. W. Pays Claims of Ii. M.
Parrish and O. M. Ressier.
The Ancient Order of United Workmen,
the well-known fraternal order, has a
reputation for prompt payment of its
death losses and at a meeting of its
Ta committee held Monday
nisht, &t the grand recorder's office, aud-
ited and paid 11 death claims, aggregat
ing $20,000.
Among the claims were those of Lv M.
Parrish, who died February 19, and O.
M. Ressier, both of this city, who died
February 21. This Is a record unparal
elled by any fraternal order and proves
how stable is the Ancient Order of United
Workmen under the Level Rate plan,
which already contains over $100,000 in
Its reserve.
The Workmen have adopted adequate
rates and will unquestionably pay out.
It is not a question among fraternals of
how cheap, but how safe are the rates.
Oregon is now a Jurisdiction by herself,
and as the death rate is low, good re
sults are Inuring.
The Level Rate plan Is "simply that the
member pays upon his attained age
through life a level rate. Members of
the order will be glad to give Informa
tion. Address or call on Newton Clark,
grand recorder. In the Commercial
block, for full Information.
